You may need to adjust your User Account Control settings under Windows 7/8 to allow proper installation of the patch.

If you attempt to join a game and the connection times out for any reason, active games may not be displayed until you exit the server window and rejoin the session.

***

If you are using the -D3D switch after NITRO.EXE in the command line of your shortcut, you do not need to use DXTORY or FRAPS for frame rate limiting, the patch should provide a stable 60 FPS via VSYNCH.

Feel free to post questions and comments. There are entirely too many people struggling to get the game running properly and it should be really, really easy.

I did this last night on my friend's computer using DXTORY on his AMD chipset. What's nice is the current version of DXTORY has its own framerate display so I didn't have to run Fraps at the same time. I first set it to 60fps but the napalm hose and AI were still buggy so I tried 30fps, then 24. At 24fps the napalm hose worked like the 50' cattail of death as it should, but the AI were still chattering their steering and rapping their brakes. In the past I've noticed the AI will eventually function normally but I unfortunately didn't get to witness it last night. Maybe restarting the computer after installing everthing might have helped. If that doesn't work I'll try Fraps when I get a chance.
